Glass Tile Installation in the Shower Video

Test The walls in the shower are nearly complete as the crew gets ready to grout the Vitrus GlassTile they've installed. Bob shows how glass tile differs from ceramic tile, giving an artistic, light-filled, fluid-green look to the bathroom. Bob also explains the special grout that is used to completely mildew- and stain-proof the tiles. Lichen-colored SpectraLOCK grout, with a Microban mildew inhibitor, is mixed with Glow Dazzle, which will give a luminous green complement to the Vitrus tile. This epoxy grout completely seals the tile installation, will not discolor, stain, or change the effect of the glass tile over time. Bob watches as the epoxy grout is applied, first in a thick layer, then pushed into every crack between the tiles.
